Country music star Wynonna Judd is partnering with the White House on a new criminal justice reform project
Country music star Wynonna Judd, who has worked closely with groups that help inmates transition back into society after incarceration, is partnering with the White House on a new criminal justice reform project, according to two administration officials.
During a White House event Thursday for the National Day of Prayer, Judd told reporters that she was “really using this time to speak out for the unloved [and] people who feel forgotten.” Her project with the White House marks “the beginning of a new chapter,” she added.
